Just noticed that the Teutonic Order will be included :2thumbsup:, allthough only as unplayable faction ~:(
But I can understand that, because the Order was founded quite late in 1190 and from 1197 on it became a military order and therefore it's ok that it is an unplayable faction only. (it would be very troublesome to make them playable according to their history, f.e. how to include it into the mod that they began in the Holy Land and were quite present there until 1291, in the meanwhile tried to establish themselves in eastern Germany with moderate success and in 1211 even in Hungary but were kicked out again in 1225. It was not before 1226 when their real success story began in Prussia, Livonia, and Estonia. :knight:
(For all Teutonic Order fans: vanilla Kingdoms add on will have a full playable Teutonic order campaign!:2thumbsup:)
so in case ur designers would be happy about some materials for the unit design I would like to post some nice images showing the Teutonic knights from their best side in shiny armor :grin: Otherwise forget about this post.:oops:
